Gen. LOgan's Sudden Death

Is great shock to the nation. Few knew that he was even indisposed when the news of his death flashed over the wires and thou sands of people stood aghast at the sudden change from health and vigor to cold and s- lent death. For the past twenty-five years there has been no man more constantly be- fore the public than General John A. Logan. Through all his career he has been noted for his fearlessness and purity of character, both in public and private life. Loved by friends and respected by enemies he will be mourned by all
 His death adds another to the long list of victims to sudden and acute rheumatism. Probably no disease is so common as rheu- matism, none is more sudden or dangerous, and there is certainly none which so com pletely baffies medical skill.
 Only one remedy has yet been discovered which is sure and safe cure for rheuma- tism and it's twin disease neuralgia. and that is Athlophoros. In thousands of cases Ath- lopboros has proved quick and certain cure for these diseases. In connection with A th- lophoros Pills it has never yet failed to speedily effect a cure.
 In all probability many deaths attributed to heart disease are caused by these terrible eAioCaSCS, "AISn uIc lar A1oi0 uauS0IOuS tudu is generally considered.
 Rheumatism, even though in a very mild form, is extremely dangerous, for it is liable at any moment to go to the heart and cause instant death. Why trife with disease so fatal when certain cure can be obtained of any druggist

 THE MIND READER.
 At Carlls Opera House tonight the cele- brated mind reader, MT. Washington Irving Bishop, will give exhibition of his great power of mind reading. A Boston exchange says: A needle was secreted several blocks from the opera house. MT. Bishops eyes were covered with 8 silk handkerchief, his hat and overcoat were put on and to his wrist was fastened one end of flexible piece of wire about fifteen feet long. The other end was taken hold of by the members of the committee. MT. Bishop waited a minute and then ran quickly down the steps from the stage to the side aisle, followed by the committee. In another minute he and the gentlemen following him had disappeared through the curtains separating the auditori- uln from the lobby. He soon returned with the needle.
 THE sToDDARD LECTURER.
 JOnn l4 2tOOIard, whose puDllc appear ances during the past seven seasons have placed him in the front rank of popular lee turers, announces new list of attractions which make up the eighth annual course of lectures to be delivered at Carll's Opera House on the evenings of January 13, 1S 25, February and 16. Illustrated history. which has elicited such unqualified approval for two years past, will receive fresh treat ment in three evenings devoted to the times of Queen Elizabeth, Napoleon III and Peter the Great. Perhaps the most novel lecture of the course will be the one that conducts the nearer through many places in Europe and America, the description of the jour neys being found in the entertaining letters of Charles Dickens. The closing lecture is to be 8 sou venir of Mir Stoddard's Egyptian travels. Long experience and instituted expenditure have heretofore enabled the lecturer to pro- vide himself with illustrations elsewhere un- equalled, but this year they are expected to prove more satisfactory than ever, owing to the rich selections made by one of his man. agers during his residence in Europe last summer. These lectures have already aroused the enthusiasm of immense audiences in Chicago, Philadelphia, Brooklyn. New York and other large cities. The sale of seats be- gins to-day at Loomis' Temple of Music.
